exec_make_target
Execute Makefile targets directly without terminal usage. Pass a list of targets to process and receive structured execution results for each. Simplifies build automation and task management.
Instructions
Use instead of terminal: Execute Makefile targets.
Args:
commands: List of Makefile targets to execute
Returns:
A dictionary containing the execution results for each target
Raises:
ValueError: If commands is not a list

Implementation Reference
- The main handler function (__call__) that implements the tool logic for 'exec_make_target'. It validates input as a list of targets, executes each via _exec_commands, and returns a dict of results.
